yod dropper Posted April 24, 2017 Report Share Posted April 24, 2017 I heard about this chap on the radio this last week, farming today most likely. Another low key environmental hero who did a lot for the grey partridge amongst other things, we could do with a few more people like him. https://www.gwct.org.uk/news/news/2017/april/****-potts-(1939-2017)/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnfromUK Posted April 25, 2017 Report Share Posted April 25, 2017 Many years ago I attended a lecture he gave (Game Conservancy organised I think) about his grey partridge work. It was interesting, well reasoned with clear trials evidence explained and well presented. The lecture was well attended and two of the big estates around here have took the message on board regarding not spraying headlands. Regrettably, grey partridges remain scarce, but I'm sure other wildlife has benefited. As mentioned above, may be low key, but it is valuable and sound work.
